5.08.2008 Nicole Bell, Rev. Al, among 200 arrested in NYC

Reverend Al Sharpton, Nicole Paultre’ Bell, and two survivor’s of the 50-bullet, Royal Rumble the NYPD unleashed; Trent Benefield, and Joseph Guzman, were among 190 people arrested in lower Manhattan today, for stopping traffic to protest the acquittal of policemen who killed Sean Bell on his wedding day.



Outrage is brewing within the city; people are referring to this case as Emett Till part 2. I was fortunate enough to make it to the rally on 60th St. and 3rd Ave. The rally was small, but loud.



Here’s raw footage of the rally:

Though everyone’s focusing on the 190 arrests, the rally on 60th St, was something to see. The crowd was atleast (guesstimated) 60% white. Every voice counts, color doesn’t...It’s going to be a HOT summer.







Major…MAJOR shout –out (name drop) to Freaky Zeaky from the Diplomats, who made it his PERSONAL business to attend these rallies.
